I've never ever ever understood why people go public about their lottery wins. It's just asking for trouble in my opinion. Obviously you can't keep it a secret from everyone but the whole country doesn't need to know about it.

The last couple to win big from the Euromillions (£45m) went public and I thought it was rather stupid.

I think you have high expectations in buying Reading. Madjeski would never sell his club for £50m, you would not have any money to spend on players etc, i think you should buy a small % of Reading, not all of it.

Or buy someone in a lower league (e.g. Darlington) and try to save them from relegation, if it fails, pump some money in and get them back into league 2!

I'm not sure tbh, I don't value the club at more than £40m, but yeah maybe I could co-own it.

I'd get a couple of supercars and a Rolls Royce. Buy a nice big country manor in England and build my dream house in Wales . Pay for my little brothers to go to Eton and my girlfriend and I to get married.

After that I'd pay off my mother and fathers debts and my girlfriends parents debts.

I'd buy some nice property in Italy. Probably in the Umbria/Tuscany region. One in France too (no idea where in France though)
I'd then buy a 37m Sunseeker yacht. After this spending spree I'd live a life of luxury living off of the interest of my now roughly £95,000,000 left.

Who would still work if you won the Euromillions? Would you choose a different career than the one you already have in mind? If you wouldn't work, how would you spend your time?

I'd try to establish myself as an writer and/or artist. I'm thinking of trying this anyway on the side, but if I won the lottery then I wouldn't have to have a day job as well to support myself! And when I wasn't writing or drawing/painting, I'd be travelling around Britain and the rest of the world

this isn't relevant to your post, but is the beach in you sig. in Europe? It would help if you tell me.

- donate 10 million to charity
- give 10 million each to my mum and sister
- treat myself
- go to university
- pay my sister's uni fees
- go travelling around the world for a year or two
- buy a big house
- never work again, or if I did, it would be in a career I loved, no matter what the salary was, because it wouldn't matter
- buy a holiday home somewhere nice

I would DEFINITELY choose to remain anonymous, I would tell very few people!
